Wild and Wonderful

Our site was near the edge of the campground, which is basically a large grassy area with a bathroom in the middle of the loop. It didn't provide much shade (though some sites are more shaded) but it was good for watching a storm roll in and stargazing at night. The bathrooms aren't anything to write home about, but they were kept clean by the park employees. There's plenty to do in the park including walking down the steps to view its namesake waterfall, and hikes to beautiful views of the gorge. Make time to drive to nearby Thomas and visit the Purple Fiddle for a drink or ice cream while listening to live music. A slightly longer drive will take you to Seneca Rocks, a steep hike to exposed rocks with beautiful views. The park is also a good base for high pointers seeking to bag Mt. Davis, PA; Backbone Mt., MD; and Spruce Knob, WV- the highest points in the three states.
